I am not a guy who always drink tea right now since I love to drink water more in this few years. But I still remember the good old days when my parents always took me to the restaurant in the morning and enjoy Chinese tea and dim sum(all kinds of Chinese food in a small plate , you name it). I was only a child when I was enjoying all these . oh, ye. the tea. We have all kinds of tea. Some are strong and some are pure and smells good. I like Jasmine tea since it is so fresh smell and it really wake up a person in the morning. The western tea?Sometimes I have it too, but I think it is is different. A cup of tea with some milk and sugar on it was all I can remember . I don't drink those tea in nowadays as well.Waht do I drink now ? Again, water.How about you ?

I'm in the UK so tea is a big thing anyway, but my parents practically live on tea so I grew up drinking it. I used to have very milky and sugary tea (half filled cup with milk and 2-3 teaspoons of sugar!). However, after I worked in America for 6 weeks my taste changed. The milk over there in the workplace was nasty, when you'd put it into hot water it seemed to curdle and leave a layer on the top so I had to go without milk. I also got rid of sugar for convenience sake. It took a while to get used to because black tea with no sugar was very, very different to what I had been drinking for so many years, but now I love it. I couldn't go back to having it the way I used to. I like using a pretty cup/mug (I've got a cupboard full of them, I think I'm addicted to collecting them!) and sitting down to enjoy it. I drink tea during the day without taking the time to savour it, but then that's because tea is more like an everyday staple here rather than a delicacy.

Yes i like to drink tea and i feel relaxed with it.I love to drink elachi and ginger tea because it has a very good smell and taste.When i wake up in the mornings, with my breakfast i always love to have a glass of tea.Without tea i feel irritated.The same story in the evenings, after eating snacks i love to drink a glass of tea.I think i am addicted to it. When i go for a long distance journey,i drink so many glasses of tea that it is hard to remember how much i drank.I would love to drink Jasmine tea as i love the smell of Jasmine.Here in the hill stations of Conoor which is in India,there are different flavors of tea.There is chocolate flavor tea,but the taste does not come to real chocolate.

I drink a lot of sweet tea. The reason that I've been drinking a lot of sweet tea is because of the fact that I have been trying to cut down my consumption of soda and drinking tea instead seemed like a good option. I think that it is safe to say that I'm addicted to drinking tea now. I don't, however, like to drink hot tea for the most part mostly because of the fact that I really don't like drinking anything that is hot.

My mom got me started on tea every morning during high school, when which I hated coffee. But a few years later I started enjoying coffee, as long as it had a butt load of sugar and cream. Now I have lessened the additives, but am trying to switch back to tea. I have found black tea to be a good substitute in the moring, and enjoy wild orange, spiced chai, and apple cinnamin tea regularly, or at least when I can afford them. I must admit, I still use too much sugar though.

Yes I love to drink tea especially those formulated with aromatic herbs like chamomile and basil. I believe tea has anti-oxidant properties which is good for our health. There's a chinese tea that I've tried but I could not find it here in the Philippines, it's the crysanthemum tea. I hope I spelled it right. I love the red tea.

I like tea more than coffee as it is healthier I believe. It aids my digestion and relieves stomach problems. I drink tea without sugar and milk. I like Japanese green tea, earl grey and chamomile tea which I take whenever my stomach gets upset. Tea is also perfect with sweets and cookies.

I have always liked to drink tea, but at one time switched to coffee and got addicted to it. It didn't make me feel very good at all, so I switched back to tea again. I drink it in the typical UK way white, but I don't take sugar in it. _Derek

I am more of a coffee than a tea drinker. Coffee is what makes me relax from a tiring day. It is also coffee that opposite what others say that if you want to be awake take a cup of coffee, for me, if I could not sleep, I would rather take a cup of coffee. I take tea for health reason, like if I had a stomach discomfort, I would take a cup of tea and if ever I would stick into tea drinking, I would opted to have green tea again for health reason for I know it is green tea that is best for health.

I like tea. It has an antioxidant substance which makes the skin younger. The more that I like when I visited China where almost every hour they drink tea. I do not only enjoy the taste of tea but also enjoys the time spent for others while sipping tea. In other countries,drinking tea is a form of socialization and sharing problem and successes in life.

I'm a big tea drinker, my mom gave me tea when I was little so I was hooked by the time I was a teen. I always have a cup of black pekoe tea with a bit of milk or creamer and sugar every morning. I rarely drink coffee, at night I'll have a cup of chamomile tea which is relaxing it also helps to digest food and helps relieve a belly ache. Or some sleepy time herbal tea, I also like some of the fruity teas I have them once in a while blueberry, peach etc. When I have a cold I drink black pekoe tea with honey and lemon it helps to soothe a sore throat, I make my own cold teas with eucalyptus leaves, lemon and honey also helps with congestion as well as ginger. Here's one more tea remedy, boil some cinnamon sticks and drink as a tea for a quick relief of the runs. I love collecting tea pots, weird mugs and tea tins.

I like drinking tea sometimes at night when I'm thinking about a lot of things. It soothes the mood and relaxes my thoughts. I drink Lipton tea, the ones in packs where you leave the bag suspended inside the mug. I don't like drinking powdered ones when I'm trying to relax coz it doesn't relax me at all.

Mmm. I love all sorts of tea. My favorite is oolong tea (aka black tea, I think). I also enjoy regular English breakfast tea, chamomile tea and green tea. I drink tea almost every day. Usually with a snack or breakfast or after dinner. Rarely do I have it with lunch. It depends on my mood and I must agree that it helps with colds and relaxation after a hard day at work. I've had 2 cups of tea today. English breakfast tea to be exact. And it has helped me feel better because I am suffering from a cold. Go tea!

Chinese tea? My favorite! I'd like to drink tea everyday if I got enough money to buy it. I like Tieh-Kuan-Yin best. Smelling it before drinking it, the odour makes me feel relax and peace. In China, tea of different kind has different functions. For example, the property of green tea is "cool" or "cold", so it can reduce the "heat" in human body, especially "heat" in the stomach. However, people who has a "cold" stomach would suffer diarrhea after drinking this kind of tea. I am the one with a "cold" stomach, so I don't drink green tea much. Sometimes after drinking it, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach.

Well the traditional tea has no substitute. Now a days many flavored teas are available in market including lemon tea, cold tea, herbal tea, etc. But I believe that the best is the traditional tea. However, I like the lemon tea also. It makes me fresh whenever I am feeling tired. The lemon tea has all the advantages of taste, health, relaxation.

I like to drink tea too, but i would usually prefer to drink those powdered ICED TEAS. LOL However, when we eat on Chinese restaurants we always drink those teas that were being given after a meal. I feel fine after drinking it specially if i had eaten too much. LOL

I'm the same as you, my dad always brings the family to Chinese restaurants that offers tea. Because of this, I've grown to love tea, as in, really love it. My favorites include green tea, oolong and earl gray.
